A food tester goes to the fast food jerk points to test the pork for Trichinosis. It is believed that 78% of these joints do NOT cook the pork properly (even if the meat looks burned). What is the probability that he will randomly sample 15 joints and find 12 that do NOT cook the pork properly? Select one: a. 0.6731 b. 0.2457 c. 0.7543 d. 0.0791

Zachary works as a quality control engineer at Ford Motor Company. One of his job responsibilities is estimating the proportion of defective engines coming off a production line. The production line setting allows for a defective rate of 5%. In a periodical quality checkup, Zachary selected 100 engines that came off the production line. What is the chance Zachary will find more than 10 defective engines? The corresponding Z score is _____

According to a candy company, packages of a certain candy contain 24% orange candies. Find the approximate probability that the random sample of 300 candies will contain 29% or more orange candies. Using a normal approximation, what is the probability that at least 29% of 300 randomly sampled candies will be orange?
Magnetic surveying is one technique used by archaeologists to determine anomalies arising from variations in magnetic susceptibility. Unusual changes in magnetic susceptibility might (or might not) indicate an important archaeological discovery. Let x be a random variable that represents a magnetic susceptibility (MS) reading for a randomly chosen site at an archaeological research location. A random sample of 120 sites gave the readings shown in the table below. Magnetic Susceptibility Readings,centimeter-gram-second ✕ 10−6 (cmg ✕ 10−6) Comment MagneticSusceptibility Number ofReadings EstimatedProbability "cool" 0 ≤ x < 10 30 30/120 = 0.25 "neutral" 10 ≤ x < 20 54 54/120 = 0.45 "warm" 20 ≤ x < 30 24 24/120 = 0.20 "very interesting" 30 ≤ x < 40 6 6/120 = 0.05 "hot spot" 40 ≤ x 6 6/120 = 0.05 Suppose a "hot spot" is a site with a reading of 40 or higher.

A pathologist has been studying the frequency of bacterial colonies within the field of a microscope using samples of throat cultures from healthy adults. Long-term history indicates that there is an average of 2.80 bacteria colonies per field. Let r be a random variable that represents the number of bacteria colonies per field. Let O represent the number of observed bacteria colonies per field for throat cultures from healthy adults. A random sample of 100 healthy adults gave the following information. 2 3 4 5 or more 13 18 28 16 17 8 (a) The pathologist wants to use a Poisson distribution to represent the probability of r, the number of bacteria colonies per field. The Poisson distribution is given below. P(r) = r! Here 1 = 2.80 is the average number of bacteria colonies per field. Compute P(r) for r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 or more.

Indrilling a vertical wellbore, the spacing between major fractures are recorded. It has been found that this spacing is having a mean of 180o ft and a variance of 3,240,000 ft In the first 2000 ft drilling, there was no present of major fracture in the well. Determine the probability that there is a major fracture at the depth of 2000-3500 ft. Select one: a.0.57 b.o.43 C. O.19 do 82
